Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Buyalov РР02.2 Акула

Owners widely praise the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's original and rugged design, with some noting good case finishing and unique dials. The addition of a rotating inner bezel is seen as an improvement over previous models. However, the watch's size is a significant concern, with many finding the 56.3mm lug-to-lug distance on leather strap too massive for smaller wrists, though some with 16cm wrists find it wearable on rubber. The 24-hour subdial is considered by one owner to make the dial too busy, and the price is viewed by some as too high. On balance, owners appreciate the Buyalov РР02.2 Акула's distinctive design and build quality, but its substantial size presents a significant barrier for many potential buyers.

Duxot Tortuga

Owners widely praise the Duxot Tortuga's cool, unique look and trustworthy 200m water resistance, attributing this to its screw-down crown. Some owners find the bezel visually appealing, though one notes it feels cheaper than alternatives. The Duxot Tortuga is considered good quality Chinese manufacturing with a reliable automatic movement, offering good value for the price, though some believe it is slightly overpriced. On balance, owners rate the Duxot Tortuga well for its unique aesthetics and reliable build at its price point.
